Job Description

The Software Developer in this role will support the design, development, testing, and deployment of the Telemetry & Observability Platform (TOP). TOP is an enterprise platform that integrates vehicle telemetry, diagnostic information, engineering artifacts, manufacturing evidence, service data, and software lifecycle signals to provide actionable diagnostic and software-health insights.

This role will work within a cross-functional Agile team to build cloud-native services, data integrations, user-facing capabilities, and platform observability. The developer will receive technical direction from senior engineers and architects while progressively taking ownership of well-defined platform components and features.

Employees in this job function are responsible for designing, building, and deploying cloud-based infrastructure and managed services to achieve scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiencies for private and public cloud systems that support the business. They are focused on creating opinionated cloud environments and systems such as Storage as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service, which form building blocks used by other enterprise and product teams.
